INEC Reinstates Ezeokenwa as APGA Chairman Following Supreme Court Verdict

By Abigail Philip David

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reinstated Barrister Sylvester Ezeokenwa as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in compliance with a recent Supreme Court judgment.

The decision was announced on Tuesday in a statement issued by INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun.

According to the statement, the commission’s meeting earlier in the day addressed the prolonged leadership dispute within APGA, which had been the subject of intense legal battles.

The Supreme Court, in its ruling delivered on November 27, 2024, with Appeal No. SC/CV/824/2024, affirmed Ezeokenwa as the rightful chairman of APGA.

The statement read, *“The commission met today, Tuesday, December 17, 2024. Among other issues, the meeting discussed the leadership issue in the All Progressives Grand Alliance, which has been the subject of litigation.*

*“The commission has been served with the judgment of the Supreme Court with Appeal No. SC/CV/824/2024 APGA & ANOR vs OYE & ORS, delivered on 27th November 2024, recognising Barr. Sylvester (Sly) Ezeokenwa as the Chairman of the party.*

*“In compliance with the judgment of the apex court, the commission has restored Barr. Ezeokenwa as the Chairman of APGA and restored his name on our website accordingly.”*

The ruling brings to an end the longstanding leadership tussle within APGA, solidifying Ezeokenwa’s position as the party’s legitimate leader.
